Description #
sp-textfield[multiline]
components are text areas that allow users to input custom multiline text entries with a keyboard. Various decorations can be displayed around the field to communicate the entry requirements.
Usage #
yarn add @spectrum-web-components/textfield
Import the side effectful registration of <sp-textfield>
via:
import '@spectrum-web-components/textfield/sp-textfield.js';
When looking to leverage the Textfield
base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:
import { Textfield } from '@spectrum-web-components/textfield';
Example #
<sp-field-label for="story-0">Background</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-0"
multiline
placeholder="Enter your life story"
></sp-textfield>
Variants #
Valid #
Dictate the validity state of the text entry with the valid
attribute.
<sp-field-label for="story-1" required>Background</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-1"
multiline
placeholder="Enter your name"
valid
></sp-textfield>
Invalid #
Dictate the invalidity state of the text entry with the invalid
attribute.
<sp-field-label for="story-2" required>Background</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-2"
invalid
multiline
placeholder="Enter your name"
></sp-textfield>
Quiet #
The quiet style works best when a clear layout (vertical stack, table, grid) assists in a user's ability to parse the element. Too many quiet components in a small space can be hard to read.
<sp-field-label for="story-3">Background (quietly)</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-3"
multiline
placeholder="Enter your name"
quiet
></sp-textfield>
Grows #
By default the text area has a fixed height and will scroll when text entry goes beyond the available space. With the use of the grows
attribute the text area will grow to accomidate the full content of the element.
Note: When leveraging the quiet
attribute, the grows
attribute does not effect the final delivery of the element.
<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;">
<div>
<sp-field-label for="story-4">Background</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-4"
multiline
placeholder="Enter your name"
value="By default the text area has a fixed height and will scroll when text entry goes beyond the available space. With the use of the `grows` attribute the text area will grow to accomidate the full content of the element."
></sp-textfield>
</div>
<div>
<sp-field-label for="story-5">Background</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
id="story-5"

placeholder="Enter your name"
value="By default the text area has a fixed height and will scroll when text entry goes beyond the available space. With the use of the `grows` attribute the text area will grow to accomidate the full content of the element."
></sp-textfield>
</div>
<div>

Help text #
Help text can be accessibly associated with an <sp-textfield multiline>
element by using the help-text
or negative-help-text
slots. When using the negative-help-text
slot, <sp-textfield multiline>
will self manage the presence of this content based on the value of the invalid
property on your <sp-textfield multiline>
element. Content within the help-text
slot will be show by default. When your <sp-textfield multiline>
should receive help text based on state outside of the complexity of invalid
or not, manage the content addressed to the help-text
from above to ensure that it displays the right messaging and possesses the right variant
.
<sp-field-label for="self">Stay "Positive"</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
multiline
id="self"
pattern="[P][o][s][i][t][i][v][e]"
value="Positive"
>
<sp-help-text slot="help-text">
Tell us how you are feeling today.
</sp-help-text>
<sp-help-text slot="negative-help-text">Please be "Positive".</sp-help-text>
</sp-textfield>
<sp-field-label for="managed">Stay "Positive"</sp-field-label>
<sp-textfield
multiline
id="managed"
pattern="[P][o][s][i][t][i][v][e]"
value="Positive"
oninput='
const helpText = this.querySelector(`[slot="help-text"]`);
helpText.textContent = this.invalid ? `Please be "Positive".` : `Tell us how you are feeling today.`;
helpText.variant = this.invalid ? `negative` : `neutral`;
